Tianyu is twenty years old, and the fifth day of the first month.

Early in the morning, Tang Jin and Tang Xu packed up, and after breakfast, they went straight to the Inviting Star Tower.

After determining that the Invitation Star Tower was most likely the stronghold of the Wang family's assassins, Tang Jin ordered people to keep an eye on the holding of the Invitation Star Tower's auction. Coincidentally, every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is the annual large-scale auction of Xinglou, which can even be said to be the largest auction in the whole year, involving both local products of the Tang Dynasty, as well as things from neighboring countries and even battlefields, and it is said that in previous years, there were also auctions of captives and slaves sold from neighboring countries.

Of course, the auction of slaves was private, and only open to high-ranking officials and nobles. As for the reason, it is mainly because the slave trade is not legal, and after buying, the buyer needs to get a legal identity for him, which alone is not something that ordinary people can handle. This is also the reason why only Tang Jin and Tang Xu went, they are nobles and meet their status.

Riding the carriage all the way to the east of the city, before reaching the Inviting Star Tower, I saw several carriages going in the same direction, the carriage was gorgeous and abnormal, and all of them in it had always been illustrious. Of course, no matter how prominent he is, he still has to kneel under Tang Jin, a royal clan, even if the prince comes, he is only at the same level as Tang Jin.

Walking to the door of the Inviting Star Tower, Xiao Dezi opened the door curtain, and Tang Jin and the two bowed out. On the way here, I saw a lot of carriages, but the door was quite empty, and for the time being, there was only Tang Jin, and more of them were gorgeously dressed old men or young men, accompanied by their subordinates, and walked there.

In fact, this is also a manifestation of status, people with different identities need to get off the bus in different places to walk, the later you get off the bus means the higher the status, as for the one who gets off the bus at the door...... Do you need to say more?

"We meet His Royal Highness!"

Tang Jin's appearance suddenly made the surrounding richly dressed uncles and young people stop, and they all bowed their heads, and a few arrogant people didn't want to bow their heads, but they were directly kicked by their own parents.

Tang Jin didn't say anything about this, and he didn't even have the interest to nod, so he walked straight to the building. He and these people estimate that they will only see this once in their lives, so what does it matter if they are polite or not?

"In front of my cousin

Why don't you give us advance notice? The younger brother has missed the distance, please forgive my cousin! ”

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't even see the surrounding environment clearly, and Tang Gou, who was wearing a white brocade robe, greeted him.

Tang Gou was not surprised to appear here, Tang Jin would be surprised if he didn't come. As the prince and the grandson of the Wang family, on such an occasion where high-ranking officials and nobles gather, if he doesn't come to support the scene, he may not be able to suppress the dignitaries who are about to arrive.

"Where, where, for my brother, I just heard that there is such an interesting auction in Beijing today, and it was decided at the last minute, without prior notice, and it is still for my brother." Tang Jin smiled.

"Cousin, you are seeing the outside world when you say this, you and I are cousins, and this Xingxing Tower is my mother's property, in a sense, you are also a director, where do you need to be notified in advance?" Tang Gou also smiled.

Then, the two of them were vain and wronged, and those who didn't know thought that the relationship between the two was very good. Tang Xu, who looked straight at him, had goosebumps all over his body, and calling the royal family was different.

After ending the unnutritious greetings, Tang Jin and the two went straight to the box on the second floor. As the person with the highest status present, Tang Jin's box was naturally the best, as for Tang Gou...... He is the master of the family and is not included.

"What the hell are we doing today?" Sitting in the box, retreating left and right, and making sure that there was no dark layer in the box, Tang Xu still carefully knocked on the Moss code.

Tang Jin glanced at him and shook his head speechlessly, "Don't be so careful, unless the Wang family is crazy, they won't dare to eavesdrop today." ”

"Why?" Tang Xu wondered.

"Nonsense, all the high-ranking officials and nobles who came today are not the Lord who has many secrets to the heavens? Once the eavesdropping conversation is discovered, it is equivalent to offending everyone here, after all, if you can eavesdrop on one, why can't you eavesdrop on two or even all? In order to ensure that their secrets will not be revealed, these people will definitely join forces to destroy the Wang family, so unless the Wang family is crazy, they will never do such a brainless thing as eavesdropping. Tang Jin took a sip of tea.

"Oh......" Tang Xu nodded and asked again, "Then what are we going to do today?" ”

"What else can I do to participate in the auction?" Tang Jin glanced at him as a matter of course, with a faint suspicion in his eyes, this thing will not

It's a stupid Chinese New Year, right?

"I ...... Of course I knew I was here for the auction, but it wasn't ...... On the surface? Shouldn't the real purpose be to probe the truth and collect evidence? Tang Xu said speechlessly.

"That's right, but in order to achieve the real purpose, we need to complete the superficial purpose first. When we had taken a lot of lots, even those rare slaves, we had to go to the warehouse to pick up the lots instead of sending them directly to the box, so ...... Participating in auctions is also part of our true purpose. Is there a problem? Tang Jin looked at him strangely and said.

"No, no, you're the master, you're the master." Tang Xu waved his hand again and again, the easiest way to talk to such a logic monster is to shut up.

"Hmm." Tang Jin turned his head satisfied.

At the same time, the auction below has officially begun. A middle-aged man in a cyan brocade robe walked up, arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your support, so that I can invite the star tower to shine." In this case, Zhao will not talk nonsense, and directly start our auction today, let's invite the first lot! ”

As he spoke, he saw the curtain open on the side, and a tall and muscular man walked up, holding a porcelain vase with an extremely ordinary style, but the strange thing was that he was wearing shackles on his feet, and his body was also full of scars.

"Our first lot today is this porcelain vase from the north, which was obtained on the battlefield last autumn, and is the beloved object of the barbarian soldiers. The starting price is five hundred taels of silver! ”

As soon as the first lot appeared, Tang Jin was really stunned. I've always heard that this invited the Star Tower to auction slaves, and I thought that even if I had, I would have to keep it until the final finale, but I just came up and took out one, which was really surprising.

That's right, this first lot is not the usual porcelain vase that can be seen everywhere on the street, but the strong man wearing shackles, and the introduction above the auction may be a little awkward if it is placed on the porcelain vase, but it is no problem to put it on this strong man.

"Tsk, it seems that the Wang family is planning to play big."

The first one took out the previous finale lots, is the Wang family trying to do something this time?
